Out ot. raul lOSU the
game after all. Eau Claire scored seven
runs in the eighth inning, enough to
win, on the most wretched fielding pos
going out on grounder from second to
first. HandibOe was presented the ini-
tial bag on balls after three strikes had
been called on him, Cross hit to center
field and Pickett fumbled Stevens
grounder. The bases were full, and
Smith hit an easy one which SowderS
could have reached with proper effort,
but he let it pass to Crooks, who had to
play so fast that he threw wild to
the plate. McCullOm hit to center field,
bringing in the third run. Cox then
hit the ball light tap to Sowders, who
made most ineXcusable wild throw to
second base. Lowe drove the ball to
center field for two bags, emptying the
bases; and Murphy fumbled the ball
While and finally threw it ten feet
over Wilmot's head in left field, and be-
fore it could be fielded in Lowe scored.
Why Murphy threw the ball to Wilmot
at all has not been explained. Murphy,
of Eau Claire, then went to bat for the
second time in the inning, but failed to
reach first. st. Paul had no trouble
whatever in hitting Handiboe. Four
teen hits were made, and the Eau Claire
Outfeld captured ten flies. The men,
however. were unlucky, ten of them be-
ing left on bases. Pretty catches were
made by Prescott and McCullom, and
Handiboe caught Stockwell nicely at
first in the opening inning. Otherwise
the game was devoid of interesting
features, except those in the eighth
inning, already mentioned. The last
game of the series will occur on Tues
day. The score is as follows:

An Arkansas Lynching.

LITTLE Rock, May 22.-Andrew
Springer, of Illinois, was lynched last
night at Powhatton, his crime being an
outrage committed on Mrs. Montgomery
some days ago. The circumstances at
tending the outrage were peculiarly
brutal and predictions that Judge Lynch
would settle the case were freely made.
A band OF men numbering thirty or
forty surrounded the Jail, took the keys
from the jailer. burst into Springer's
cell and dragged him out with rope
around his neck. He made desperate
fight for life, and it required two or
mob to shoot him, but the request was
refused. He was dragged short dis
tance from the Jail and hanged to a tree,
his body afterward being riddlcd with
bullets. His victim is reported to be in
a precarious condition.

THENORTHWESTERN LEAGUE
Standing of the Teams at the End
of the Third Week.


The Northwestern league teams have
now been playing three weeks, and they
are all still in a position to take the pen
nant, although perhaps the chances OF
Eau Claire and Duluth are rather
shadowy. Several of the teams have
been strengthened up within the last
few days, Handiboe being secured by
Eau Claire, Peters by Duluth and Pyle
and Hardie by La Crosse, and Manager
Bryan is East looking for another
pitcher for Dis MOineS. st. Paul has
had a busy week, and has won four out
of seven games, and contested another
for fifteen innings. 1t has, however,
dropped two games which it should nave
won with the utmost ease. Neither Du-
luth nor Eau Claire begins to be match
for st. Paul, but each of them has taken
a game here through wretched blunder-
ing by the home team. Yesterdays
work by st. Paul in the eighth inning
has never been equaled here, and 1t is
hoped no such exhibition will occur in
st. Paul again in score OF years.
When runner can make the
circuit of the bases on two
base hit it is time for team to brace up
or be braced up. The st. Paul team has
| the best array of pitchers in the league,
and SO far Stockwell has caught all OF
! them so well that he is beyond criticism,
and it should not lose SO many games.
Milwaukee is in the lead once more, butt
pushed very hard by Oshkosh, the pros
poets of the latter going to the front
soon being excellent. DeS Moines has
dropped down to third place, and will
have hard work to hold it. Since La
Crosse has secured Pyle and Hardie it is
not so certain that the weak sister of
the Wisconsin quartette will not do a
little climbing. Only time can tell any
thing about its future. The record of
the clubs, including yesterdays St.
Paul-Eau Claire game. is as follows:

Bright Outlook For Latonia.

CINCINNATI, May 22.-The Latonia
races begin tomorrow under most fa-
vorable prospects. An unusually large
number of horses are ON the ground,
indeed, one owner has complained that,
after bringing his stable here, he finds
no stalls vacant for the use of his
horses. Of the five races tomorrow the
Latonia derby attracts the most atten-
ton. Montrose is the favorite in the
betting, Notwithstanding wise men are
saying his Louisville victory does not
establish him. On the other hand
those who deal in ancient track lore
point to the fact that Montrose's progen-
itors were fine weight carriers. Jim

tinator is absolutely friendleSs.

GRAVE DIGGERs STRIKE.
The Latest Novelty in New York
Labor Circles.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, May GA strike of
grave diggers is the newest novelty in
labor matters hereabouts. 1t is no ordi-
nary strike, either. 1t is wierd and
intricate complication of monopolistic
florists, politics-secular and religious
stonemasonic cabalism, official embez-
Element and unofficial lying. and just
what it is all about nobody seems to
know. Most New Workers who

Bishop Loughlin decided after a long
discussion before him, that do particular
florist had monopoly of supplying flow
erS for the graves. This was in Holy
Cross, but the same complaint was made
as to Calvary. Nobody had ever thought
of such thing as Grave Diggers' union
then. but the stirring up of the flower
subject and the upsetting of the ancient
traditions of the cemetery on that point
inspired the wielders of the spades with
the idea that for them also there was 4
future In
THE KICKING LINE.
They began to kick. Wages was the
first trouble, and along with it there was
monopoly enjoyed by certain stone
mason, who was the brother of some
politician or other, in the matter of
building the foundations for graves, set
ting up monuments, etc. Whatever it
may all have been about, the result was
that the men got their raise, and some
body is alleged to have got some votes.
Calvary was the center Of this disturb
ance. Meantime, the grave-diggers
have become Knights of Labor.
The name of their organize
ton is, of all things the Agricultural
Labor Club. 1t is only two or three
weeks ago that there was settlement
of the trouble over the masonS, and
monuments could again be set in Holy
Cross for the first time i'll three months.
|, Now the diggers are again out of the
graves and their spades and shovels
laid away. Their complaint is that two

match in which one man does all the
work seems rather absurd.
The Warren- -Danforth faatharxyaipht

match in which one man does all the
work seems rather absurd.
The Warren-Danforth featherweight
contest at the Washington rink, Mime
apOlis, week from tonight, is attract
ing universal attention from the lovers
of Athletic sports, not because the men
are '.sluggers," but because they bring
out the true merits of boxing, which in
cludes skill and nerve as well as
strength and agility. The ''little fel-
lows" after all, are the real boxers.
While their terrible lefts" do not deal
death and destruction, they strike six
times where heavy weight does once,
and are really the eXponents of the art
which masters brute strength as fully
as skilled labor does the unskilled.
Warren and Danforth's meeting
year ago did not settle the question of
superiority. Danforth was the ag-
gressor, and in the first seven rounds
did most of the leading. Warren, the
succeeding rounds showed that he had
purpOsely harbOred his strength. Nei-
ther man had pronounced advantage,
and ever since the rivalry between the
two has been very bitter. This time
each means to demonstrate that he is
the better man, and fifteen rounds
should afford plenty of opportunity.
The desire of the spectators to get
their moneys worth prolonged yester
days contest between Wilson and Wood
son beyond the eight rounds. There is
no doubt that if the match had taken
place in public hall instead of before
party of men, who paid a good price
and travelled considerable distance to
see the match, Wilson would have won
inside of six rounds.
Cardiff seems to have concluded that
he will not get chance to face Sulli-
van this year, at least. He has there
fore signified a Willingness to meet
K1llen, and it is altogether likely that
the two will come together within sixty
days.
The winner of the Warren-Danforth
match will hear from Weir, the Belfast
Spider, Immediately, and contest for
the feather-weight championship of the
world is sure to succeed, which is to
settle the championship of America.
Mike Conley, the Ithaca giant, wants
to meet John p. Glow, and has sent an
agent to Minneapolis to. arrange a
match. Glow has been after Pete Nolan,
OF Cincinnati, and will not listen to
COnley's offers for while at least.
The dispatch from Chicago in yester-
days GLOBE saying that Burke had
offered Danforth and Warren purse of
$500 to meet in that city was evidently
written by some one who does not keep
track of events, as Warren and Dan
forth are already matched to meet at

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Detroit Winning the Pennant as 1t
PleaseS.

Several sensations have been sprung
in the National league during the week.
The report got abroad that Philadelphia
had offered S25, 900 for four of Detroit )
players, and President Stearns says thc
story is true, but no transfer would be
made. He says the Detroits will stay
in and win the pennant, and if ball
playing does not pay in Detroit with
pennant winners, the team will disband
at the end of the season.. Another
story, printed in this issue of the GLOBE,
is to the effect that the st. Louis Browns
and President Won der Abe will go to
New York next year for 100000. This
rumor is denied, however, by Mr.. Won
der Abe. The Detroit team goes right
on winning games without a skip, and
the fight will soon resolve itself into a
struggle for second place by the other
teams. New York has crept up to third
place, but is likely to get a set back by
Detroit this week. The record to date
is as follows:

The Means Unworthy.

LONDON, May pa telegram from
Rome says: "a summary of the So
called memoir on the Irish question has
reached Rome. A second INQUIRY at
the Irish college elected another indig-
nant denial of any knowledge of such a
document, which is declared to be a
malicious and stupid invention devoid
of the least probability. The glaring alb
surdity of the alleged memoir and the
ignorance it displays are evident to
everyone who considers the nature and
origin of the Irish college. Therefore,
the opinion is general that it could not
have come from Rome. An outrage
such as this could only occur in condi-
honor and journals sacrifice deceucy in
order to gain party ends. The prospects
must be hopeless indeed when resource
is had to such unworthy meaus.n
